Summary
The framework outlines a common approach to understanding domestic and family violence. It builds a shared understanding of the nature of domestic and family violence and provides a common language for describing it. The framework also establishes a common approach to screening, assessing and managing domestic and family violence risk. This will enable a more confident, consistent and effective response across the broad service system.
The framework has 6 key components plus practice guides and fact sheets to support people in their work.
